Intertidal organism and habitat data as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 06 July 1977 to 26 August 1978 (NODC Accession 8000577)

Intertidal organism and habitat data were collected from 06 July 1977 to 26 August 1978. Data were collected by Western Washington State College (WWSC) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to NODC standard F030 Intertidal Organism and Habitat format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f030.html. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F030 format is used for data from field sampling of marine organisms in intertidal or subtidal habitats. The data are collected to provide information about species abundance and distribution. Data from each observation may include: cruise and station information such as vessel name, senior scientist, position, date, and time; environmental conditions such as surface temperature and salinity, wind speed and direction, and sea state; sediment and habitat descriptors; and species identification and organism counts and measurements. Data may be reported for either individual or composite samples. A text record is available for reporting comments.

潮间带生物与栖息地数据集的采集时段为1977年7月6日至1978年8月26日。本数据集由西华盛顿州立学院（Western Washington State College, WWSC）作为外大陆架环境评估计划（Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program, OCSEAP）的一部分完成采集。美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）已将所有数据按照其F030潮间带生物与栖息地标准格式完成标准化处理。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网的https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f030.html页面查阅。本次入库数据集的模拟格式文件可通过NODC用户服务渠道获取。

F030格式专用于潮间带或亚潮带海洋生物的野外采样数据存储。该类数据的采集目标为获取物种丰度与空间分布的相关信息。单条观测记录可包含以下内容：航次与站位信息，如船舶名称、首席科学家、站位坐标、观测日期与时间；环境参数，如表层水温、盐度、风速与风向、海况；沉积物与栖息地特征描述信息；以及物种鉴定结果、生物个体计数与测量数据。数据可按单一样本或复合样本两种形式上报，同时可通过文本记录附加填报相关备注。
